Simone Biles Taught Marlon Humphrey Something About Sportsmanship Following His Criticism<\/h2>\n

Simone Biles responded to Marlon Humphrey\u2019s flak with grace, stating she was simply giving her competitor deserved praise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s all about sportsmanship, and we don\u2019t care whether we win or lose,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>she said on the \u2018TODAY\u2019 show this Tuesday (H\/T the\u00a0Da<\/a>i<\/a>ly Mail<\/a>).\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re always going to keep a good face and support our competitors because they\u2019ve worked just as hard as we have for that moment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Humphrey later admitted to\u00a0\u201cgetting cooked\u201d<\/em>\u00a0online after his tweet went viral. The NFL star himself was subject to lots of criticism, with hordes of fans lashing out at him over the absurd take. Michelle Obama was hardly the only person who found it in poor taste.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never had an athlete so close,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Biles added.\u00a0\u201cThis definitely kept me alert and brought out the best athlete in me. So I\u2019m excited and proud to compete with her.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been so stressed before. Thank you, Rebeca.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
